Travel tips: a quirky break in Germany and great British garden showshttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2013/may/19/tips-and-trips-camping-in-bonn
Camping in Bonn, grassroots events for the green fingered and deals of the week<p>Poor old Bonn. Always stuck in the corner holding the coats<strong> </strong>while fun-loving Berlin dances in the spotlight. Well, not any more. A quirky new hostel is challenging Bonn's reputation as the most boring city in Europe. Instead of the usual dormitory rooms, guests at Basecamp Bonn (<a href="http://basecamp-bonn.de" title=""><em>basecamp-bonn.de</em></a>)<strong> </strong>can spend the night in one of 15 salvaged caravans, trailers or railway sleeper cars<strong> </strong>parked in a city-centre warehouse. If you're feeling adventurous you can even spend the night in a tent pitched on the roof of an East German Trabant car. Take that, Berlin! Prices range from €22 a night for a bunk in a railway carriage to €96 for the vintage Airstream trailer.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2013/may/19/tips-and-trips-camping-in-bonn">Continue reading...</a>TravelGermanyChelsea flower showGardensSun, 19 May 2013 05:00:06 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2013/may/19/tips-and-trips-camping-in-bonnPRSpanish idyll: kick back in a cottage in Mallorca.PRCamping retro-style in the city of Bonn.PRCamping retro-style in the city of Bonn.Joanne O'Connor2013-05-19T05:00:06ZReaders' tips: gardenshttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2011/may/23/gardens-uk-mexico-marrakech-australia
Been There readers share their recommendations for the best gardens to visit around the world, from the vivid Majorelle Gardens in Marrakech to a wild orchid collection in Mexico<p>A doorway in a dusty side road away from the hustle of Djemaa el-Fna leads to one of the city's hidden wonders. It's a stunning botanical garden, the vision of French artist Jacques Majorelle, which was bought by Yves Saint Laurent in 1980 – his ashes were scattered there when he died in 2008. In the centre is a block of colour – a cobalt blue so intense that once you've seen it, you will always describe it as Majorelle Blue.. <br /><em>+212 5 2431 3047, </em><a href="http://www.jardinmajorelle.com/en/" title=""><em>jardinmajorelle.com/en</em></a><em>; entrance €4 </em><br /><strong>Floppylion</strong></p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2011/may/23/gardens-uk-mexico-marrakech-australia">Continue reading...</a>GardensWildlife holidaysYorkshireLake DistrictGermanyMexicoItalySouth AfricaAustraliaMon, 23 May 2011 09:40:24 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2011/may/23/gardens-uk-mexico-marrakech-australiaPRAlnwick Garden treehousewww.alamy.comPhotograph: Alamywww.alamy.comPhotograph: Alamywww.alamy.comPhotograph: AlamyAlamyOut of the blue … the Majorelle Gardens, Marrakech.
